Last post by b5blue - Today at 08:45:15 AMBe careful kick down linkage type and adjustment for the 727 is critical. You can roast that 727 pretty quick if wrong.

Last post by armor64 - Today at 08:25:41 AMLast-ish update on this, it looks like a success. I returned the adjusters to a more reasonable 1/2 way in and the front of the car is up a bit still but looks good, i will adjust a bit more this weekend. Took the car for a test loop of a couple miles to make sure everything felt good and was amazed at how different it is. total changes from the last winter drive before parking were: Properly Adjusted Torsion Bars,New Bilstein B-Body specific shocks, Rebuilt 727, Edelbrock Aluminum Heads, Doug's Headers, Hyperspark Dizzy/coil.
Its practically a new car. Shifts are crazy fast, easily chirps second, road bumps no longer send me into oncoming traffic, exhaust Drone from 75-85km/h is gone. I have to readjust the shift rod (have to shift past D slightly and back to get into D) and doesn't downshift from 3-2 on a acceleration test, but i also dont think i went above 50% throttle so may not be enough to get it to, its WAY faster to accelerate with a working trans and better timing setup. even without it wanting to downshift, in 3rd, going from 30ish kmh to 100 was amazing.
now i have to get the pestering thought of upgrading the disc brakes out of my head, now that i confirmed my front spindles are the 1 3/8 73+ size bearings...

Last post by Kern Dog - Today at 02:05:51 AMI've ran hub centric, lug centric and unilug wheels and none of them were a problem.
The only time I lost a wheel was when I was 19 and had '82 Z28 wheels on my 73 Camaro. I used the lug nuts that came from the '82. I didn't know they were metric....THAT was embarrassing.

Last post by Kern Dog - Today at 12:05:39 AMThis Hi Rev distributor performed flawlessly on the approx 1000 mile round trip to Southern CA and back.
Easy starting, smooth running, no misfires, always had spark.
Better cold idle, better low speed performance.
SCORE !

Car Guys Discussion / Re: Dumb traffic tickets
Last post by Kern Dog - Today at 12:02:40 AMI am not going to claim that Police are perfect but it has been my experience that every time that I have been cited, I was guilty of something.
Speeding, following too close, failure to stop, vehicle too low, expired registration, loud exhaust. bald tires, cracked windshield....I earned them all.
Not so much anymore. Maybe I'm better at spotting the cops and toning it down when I see them??
